Quick question for you guys.
Based largely upon your suggestions I picked up the Echo Audiofire 4 sound card and downgraded my laptop to Windows XP. I am curious to know whether I ought to uninstall/remove (e.g. via Device Manager) my pre-existing sound drivers and/or sound card. Or, alternatively, will the Audiofire simply 'take over' my audio since I'll be running my equipment (e.g. MIDI keyboard) through it? I ask b/c I do not want any driver conflicts; nor do I want the performance of the Audiofire being hurt by the stock sound card (on-board) and/or drivers that shipped with my laptop. I've never used an external audio interface before.
Thank you for the help!
Nick. |

| running onboard and external at the same time is fine in 99% of cases. assume it is ok, if you have problems, you know what to do! ;) |

I had 3 soundcards running at once just to see how it will turn out...
if you get in trouble disable your integrated soundcard in setup (bios) and you'll be ok again.
Also, you might want to make a restoration point with that system recovery thing ...
but as has been already said...it works in 99% cases |

MME is some kind of multimedia driver in some cases (afaik) it's faster than DX, so it's possibly better to use MME where asio is not available...
the other ones with numbers popping up like "Soundcard 1-2" "Soundcard 3-4" means that it goes to the outputs marked as 1-2 and 3-4 respectively...
it all should be in the manual btw :p |
